In Need

[madeara]

Isaiah 58:6-7
New International Version (NIV)
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

It wasn't until I got older and even more so now that I am a mom that my moms saying "you only NEED shelter, food and clothing" that it made complete sense to me. Great verse!

Just in time for Easter I had a friend who worked in the mall that I work in whom was jewish and I did not know. However, every time he would come and buy food from me I would treat him with great respect and make sure that when he told me he could not have milk I honestly told him everything that was with milk, and some times had fresh chicken made for him so it was without milk. Yesterday, he told me this was his last day in america, that he was going back home to Israel to be with his family. I said that is funny I have always taken care of you. I did not know the reason you were so particular with your food was because you were jewish! He smiled and said yes, that is why. It made me realize that Israel is the apple of god's eye and we should treat jews with honor even if we do not agree with their religion. I feel blessed.

I would never turn away my own flesh and blood
